Photo: Survivors of torture and family members of the disappeared gather to remember As the Congress of the United States embraces and institutionalizes the practice of torture by passing laws like the Military Commissions Act of 2006 and appointing torture apologists to run the Department of Justice, it is important to remember who voted for torture and who stood up for human rights. We have recently finished building a database of Congress,
which will track how each member voted. We are now entering each congressperson's voting record and selected quotes from each member on torture. Soon, people will be able to visit TortureLaw.org and see if their representative has supported or opposed torture and indefinite detention. Each member of congress will be issued a torture report card for their votes. Tragically, we predict a lot of failing grades.
